State Building. His first guest that night was then-CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather, who broke down twice in tears. Letterman's longtime friend and colleague Regis Philbin later joined Letterman to help lighten up the somber mood. Time magazine named Letterman's return to the air after the attacks the Best TV Moment of 2001. Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, "He's snarky. He's snide. But when a solemn Letterman returned to the air Sept. 17, 2001 (his was the first late-night comedy show to air after the attacks), his off-the-cuff monologue showed the shell-shocked audience it was okay to laugh…and to cry." 2002 October 30 The musician Warren Zevon was featured as the only guest for the entire hour. The episode concerned his recent terminal peritoneal mesothelioma diagnosis, a rare form of cancer caused from exposure to small asbestos fibers. The band played Zevon's classic song "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" as his introduction. Zevon performed several songs and spoke at length about his illness. Zevon was a frequent guest and occasional substitute bandleader on Letterman's television shows since Late Night was first broadcast in 1982. (Letterman had also performed some backing vocals on Zevon's "Hit Somebody (The Hockey Song)", with Paul Shaffer on organ.) Zevon noted, "I may have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years." It was during this broadcast that, when asked by Letterman if he knew something more about life and death now, he first offered his oft-quoted insight on dying: "Enjoy every sandwich". He also took time to thank Letterman for his years of help, calling him "the best friend my music's ever had". For his final song of the evening, and his final public performance, Zevon performed "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" at Letterman's request. In the green room after the show, Zevon presented Letterman with the guitar that he always used on the show, with a single request: "Here, I want you to have this. Take good care of it." Zevon died less than a year later, shortly after the release of his album The Wind. 2003 November 4 Letterman announces that "last night at 11:58, I became a father." The previous night, Letterman's long-time partner, Regina Lasko, gave birth to his son, Harry. 2004 March 17 Singer Courtney Love flashed Letterman while standing on his desk, her bare back to the audience.
